Flemish term or phrase: verpakkingskisten
The final term in this proposal. Here's the context:

"Als de verpakkingskisten door XXX worden aangeleverd, dient er met een prijsvermindering gerekend te worden van € 45 per lot van 24 stuks."

Does the correct collocation involve a crate, box or case? TIA

case


Explanation:
according to Kluwer, crates are used for fruit and vegetables. Since you are talikng about stow(age) bags elsewhere, I don't think it's about this kind of natural products. Case is according to Kluwer the appropriate translation if a kist serves as packaging material
